My brother-in-law’s new bodega is finally ready. Since it was another brother-in-law’s birthday, and the day after Canary Day, it was a great time to baptise the place. We stuffed ourselves with salted fish and sweet potatoes. I learned how to make kneaded gofio, which I still think is pretty uninspiring food. Then there were two cakes and some biscuits. And of course plenty of beer and wine.
And then we started singing. They’re a musical family, and I enjoy these occasions much more, now that I know the words to some of the songs, and we sang a couple in English too.
All in all it was much more fun than doing hte laundry.
